A competitive protein binding radioassay system using a rabbit uterine cytosol preparation for the measurement of ethynylestradiol [EE2e] in human plasma has been developed. Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography is used for the separation of the estrogens prior to assay. EE2 levels were measured in 23 normotensive subjects on contraceptive pills containing either 50 mug of EE2 or mestranol. The EE2 values ranged from 144 to 248 pg with a mean of 211 pg (S.D. +/- 37.94). The method is sensitive enough to detect 25 pg of EE2 in plasma. The intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variation were 7.54% and 10.75%, respectively. Water blanks and plasma blanks from subjects not on pills gave negligible readings for EE2.
